OTHER INFORMATION
Unless you have hobbies that relate to the job / industry youre interested in, you could consider removing this section. This provides extra space for you to expand on more relevant information. PERSONAL DETAILS Date of Birth Nationality Marital Status Driving Licence INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT REFERENCES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST Other tips: To be effective, a CV should be written in active voice. Responsible for, or noun phrases tied with prepositions, such as "member of, are indicators of the passive voice. The active voice is more natural, direct, vigorous and emphatic - traits you want your CV to have in tone. The use of passive voice weakens your CV.
Keep an eye out for word redundancies; vary your terminology. For example, repeating the word, 'Managed'. This will lead employers to assume that either you have a very limited vocabulary or that you simply didn't want to put enough energy/thinking into correcting an issue. If possible, you should try and keep your CV within 2 pages.
